Chicken Wants A Nap
It’s a good day to be a chicken. The sun is up. The grass is warm. And Chicken wants a nap.
In this humorous tale, a barnyard chicken goes on a quest for the perfect nap-time spot. As the barnyard conspires against her, Chicken must work harder to get that nap she desperately desires.
Will she be able to take a snooze? And does that mean bad news someone else?
